Naztazia’s Donna Wolfe Review of Motif Magic

She and I have been friends for years and I am proud to say she is part of the Kristin Omdahl Yarn’s Family of Designers. The projects she designed in Be So Sporty Yarn and Be So Tender Yarn are so pretty and very popular! Click here to see Donna featured in our Family of Designers Page.

When she’s not working with yarn, she serves as a business consultant as well as an instructor of IT courses at local colleges and universities. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband David, two children Sarah and Shawn, and her beagles, Bella and Becca.
Here is what Naztazia thinks of Motif Magic: 17 Join As You Go Projects to Knit and Crochet:
“Kristin’s new book, “Motif Magic,” contains beautiful patterns for both knit and crochet. The join-as-you-go method of construction starts off with a motif, or design element, like a fancy square or circle, that you easily join to form the larger item like a shawl. In other words, you connect the motifs by knitting or crocheting them together as you work, instead of sewing them at the end. And just because the patterns look incredibly gorgeous and complex, they are not incredibly difficult to make. The motifs are easy to remember, so once you make 2 or 3 of them, it’s very easy to construct the rest of the pattern. Because Kristin’s book contains easy-to-understand instructions, clear diagrams, and wonderful full-color photos, all skill levels – beginner to advanced – can accomplish the patterns in this book. I highly recommend having a copy in your collection!”
